This book is a must read! Heard on The Street is the first and the original book of quantitative questions from finance job interviews.
Painstakingly revised over 23 years and 19 editions, Heard on The Street has been shaped by feedback from many hundreds of readers.
With over 50,000 copies in print, its readership is unmatched by any competing book.

The revised 19th edition (ISBN 978-0-9941386-9-9; published June 2018 but revised and corrected in September 2018)
contains 226 quantitative questions collected from actual job interviews in investment banking, investment management, and options trading.
The interviewers use the same questions year-after-year, and here they are with detailed solutions!

This edition also includes 210 non-quantitative actual interview questions, giving a total of more than 435 actual
finance job interview questions. There is also a revised section on interview technique based on Dr. Crack's experiences
interviewing candidates and also based on feedback from interviewers and interviewees worldwide.

I noticed that a critical Amazon reviewer states that the same or better information is freely available on the Internet.
My experience, however, is that many solutions to quantitative questions posted on various Web sites are incorrect. The ones that
are correct are often poorly explained. The ones that are correct and well explained often overlook a more elegant solution
technique. You will also often find conflicting answers to the same question when you look at multiple sources.
Where is the quality control? On top of this, searching the Web means that you have to use your very valuable interview preparation
time to search high and low for these questions and answers, rather than having them laid out in front of you.

The benefit of this book is that I have done the work for you. That's what you are paying for. The questions and answers are all
in one place, carefully edited over many years based on feedback from hundreds of readers. Plus, the book has been recently updated
to include the latest popular questions. Also, unlike many contributors to Web sites, I have a degree in mathematics (with lots of
statistics), plus a degree in finance, plus a degree in financial economics, plus a diploma in accounting, plus I did PhD coursework
at Harvard and MIT, completed a PhD at MIT, and I have practitioner and consulting experience. On top of this, I have taught investments,
derivatives, corporate finance, and other courses, and I have won a string of teaching awards for doing so. So, why would you risk
your job interview preparation by trusting some anonymous post on some random Web site, when you can buy a book that more
than 60,000 other people, including your interviewers, have trusted for more than two decades? Why waste your valuable interview
preparation time searching for questions and answers online when you can find them all here, carefully prepared for you with your
interview in mind?

(Writing in July 2018) Within the last 12 months, I have supplied 400 copies of this book to a well known university in New York
who wanted to give a free copy to two successive cohorts of incoming quantitative masters students. I also supplied 70 copies to
a well known west coast university for their cohort of quantitative masters students. These are the students you are competing
with for jobs. If you are a student in a quantitative finance masters program and you want your school to provide this book to you,
then ask the director of your program to contact me directly (just look me up using Google).

The quant questions cover pure quant/logic, financial economics, derivatives, and statistics.
They come from all types of interviews (corporate finance, sales and trading, quant research, etc.),
and from all levels of interviews (undergraduate, MS, MBA, PhD).

The first seven editions of Heard on the Street contained an appendix on option pricing basics. That appendix was
carved out as a stand alone book (Basic Black-Scholes) in 2004,
and it is now available in its revised fourth edition (published December 2017; ISBN=978-0-9941386-8-2).

One in every three copies of Heard on the Street is sold to an interviewer.
There is a good chance that you will face one of those interviewers.

When Heard on the Street first appeared, it contained questions collected
directly from students after interviews. It still does, but nowadays the interviewers at
top firms also contribute new questions directly! For example, one interviewer at a big-name New York
investment bank recently sent the bank's latest full written quantitative interview test with 30 questions (and answers)!
The great majority were very similar to those already in the book.

Why do interviewers at top firms supply their interview questions
to put in a book to sell to their job candidates?
Because job candidates who make a serious investment of time in revising the questions and answers are signalling that they deserve to be hired!

Heard on the Street is a soft cover phone-book sized paperback and approximately 350 pages in total (335 pages of text, and 15 pages of
frontmatter and backmatter).

Don't worry if Amazon.com says "Temporarily Out of Stock," rather than "In stock," because this book is printed on demand.
A copy of the book is printed as soon as you place your order (it takes only a minute to print and bind it). It is then
shipped to you in an Amazon wrapper.

Pocket Heard on The Street editions out now:
Two pocket-sized editions of finance job interview questions.
Compared with the full-sized edition of Heard on The Street, these pocket editions are
cheaper, physically smaller, and have fewer pages. They contain a careful selection of the best questions
from the full-size edition of Heard on The Street. The pocket editions are easy to put in your pocket or purse,
and easy to read on the subway, bus, train, plane, etc!

Note: Whereas the quantitative questions in the first pocket edition usually require math/stats,
the brain teasers and "thinking questions" in the second pocket edition usually require
little or no math. The thinking questions fall half-way between brain teasers and true quant questions.
